The training ground for digital skills
Here, you don't just read how to do something: you do it. The screens are drawn by us, mistakes cost nothing, and you can start over as many times as you like. Once you've got the skill, you do it for real, on your own phone.
How it works
A skill is one single thing to learn how to do, from start to finish. You know, before you begin, exactly what you'll be able to do by the end.
Each skill states its promise and its length: "in 5 minutes, you'll know how to…". Five minutes means five minutes.
The screen looks like the one on your phone, but it belongs to us. One instruction at a time: you tap, it responds. When you make a mistake, we tell you what to look for, then you try again.
At the end, a sheet lists the steps in words. You can print it, keep it near your phone, and use it when the real message arrives.
The cataloge
Nobody searches for "privacy settings". People search for "who can see my photos". So the skills are sorted by situation, not by technical topic.
Sending a first message, attaching a photo, replying or forwarding, joining a video call with family.
These are the skills that restore contact. You learn to write to someone, find a message received three weeks ago, and unsubscribe from a newsletter that's cluttering your inbox.
8 skills
A password that holds up, a code received by text that is never shared, a scam message spotted before you click.
Here, you practice on fake traps so you can recognize the real ones: the text about a blocked parcel, the email pretending to be from an official body, the call from a fake advisor. Mistakes happen here, not on your real account.
8 skills
Booking an appointment, filling in a form, photographing a document, finding a certificate again.
Online paperwork almost always follows the same path: you log in, fill in the form, upload a document, and keep the reference number. Once you know this path, it will serve you everywhere.
8 skills
Searching and finding things, spotting a fake shop, tracking a parcel, installing an app, freeing up space on your phone.
Everyday life, the kind that saves you time: phrasing a search so it actually answers you, comparing before you buy, backing up your photos before the phone breaks.
8 skills
Setting what your phone shares, choosing who sees what you post, refusing cookies, closing an old account.
Your phone talks about you. Together, we open the settings, app by app, and decide. Nothing technical: just switches, and the exact name of what each one does.

The backbone
Apps change their colors every six months, but the same scams have looked alike for ten years. These 8 phrases run through every skill on the site. Each exercise mentions two or three of them, until they become automatic.
Urgency is the sign of a trap. A message that counts down the hours is trying to stop you from thinking. Putting your phone down for two minutes costs nothing, and it is almost always enough.
A displayed name is just text, so it can be copied. What matters is the exact address of the sender, or their phone number. A delivery announced from an unknown mobile number is not a delivery.
A one time code received by text message proves that it is really you. No advisor, no delivery driver, no service will ever ask for it. Giving it away opens the door in your place.
A password reused everywhere turns one leak into a break in everywhere. A long passphrase for each important account, written down somewhere safe, holds up better than a complicated password used again and again.
The address typed in by hand, the app installed from the official store, the phone number printed on the back of your card. Never the link someone hands you, even when it looks right.
Photos, documents, contacts: anything that exists in only one place can disappear along with the device. A copy somewhere else turns a breakdown into a minor inconvenience.
The little padlock icon means the connection is encrypted, not that the site is honest. A scam site has one too. The name of the site sits just before the first forward slash: that is where to look.
No threats, no countdown, no secret to keep. And asking for help is a reflex, not a failure: saying it out loud to someone makes most scams fall apart.
For helpers
Son, daughter, neighbor, volunteer, digital advisor at a France Services center or a public library: when you're helping someone, the hardest part is keeping your hands in your pockets. A step done for the person is a step they won't be able to do again on their own.
Clic par clic is made to be opened by two people together. The person taps the screen, you read the instruction out loud. The exercise plays the role of the expert, which leaves you free to do what matters most: reassure, and give it time.
Privacy you can check yourself
There's nothing to create, nothing to accept, nothing to refuse. No audience tracking, no social media buttons, no fonts loaded from elsewhere: this site does not talk to any other server.

This one happens to everyone, several times a month. Five minutes, and the next message like it won't catch you off guard.
